Overcoming Material Incompatibility via 2D Free‐Surface Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable post‐epitaxial strategy introduces a sub‐nanometric 2D free surface (2DFS) at the heterointerface, effectively decoupling lattice‐mismatched layers. This process significantly reduces strain‐driven defects and dislocation density in Ge/Si heterostructures. The resulting bulk‐like material quality, validated by advanced microscopy and optical

Robust Mix‐Charged Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels for Ultra‐Efficient Atmospheric Water Harvesting and Evaporative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional atmospheric water‐harvesting hydrogels prioritize hygroscopicity at the expense of mechanics, hindering its practical applications. The proposed hygroscopic mix‐charged polyzwitterionic hydrogel(THMPH) achieves a trade‐off between high water absorption and exceptional mechanical robustness through a strength gradient‐enhanced ionic cross ...

Natural Design of a Stabilized Cross‐β Fold: Structure of the FuA FapC from Pseudomonas Sp. UK4 Reveals a Critical Role for Stacking of Imperfect Repeats

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report a 3.2 Å cryoEM structure of functional amyloid protein FapC from Pseudomonas sp. UK4, an essential component of bacterial biofilm, which reveals a Greek key‐shaped protofilament, supports bioinformatically determined motifs, nuances AlphaFold predictions, emphasizes heterogeneous cross‐β stacking in amyloid cross‐seeding and shows strain ...
